About Ken

Ken Schleicher, began his fishing career chasing Tuna and Marlin off the coast of Southern California 40 years ago, and has cultivated his fishing expertise on the Columbia River for the past 20 years.

Ken’s passion for fishing doesn’t stop with catching Salmon, Steelhead, & Sturgeon; he also enjoys teaching the techniques and his personal touches for success.

He specializes in ‘family fishing’ adventures. His greatest joy is seeing the smiles on the kids faces when they catch their first fish. Many times the fish are the biggest they have ever caught, and some of the time the fish are even bigger than they are.

Living and fishing in The Gorge for 20 years, Ken has an in-depth knowledge of the area and the fish he pursues. He will keep you entertained with local lore and fish tales to fulfill your on-the-water experience.
